Business owner is going to rebuild and arm himself this time.  Too bad he learned his lesson the hard way.

Arming is a good idea, but he should not rebuild there. Why keep throwing money/tax dollars into an area whose racist elected leadership wants to give terrorists "space to destroy"?
If I were him I'd move my business to mostly white small town. He and his family would be much safer there as opposed to the liberal shit hole known now as Baltswana....that is unless an intolerant gay militant group targeted his pizza shop.

The author of the 'Clue for those of you..' article states that food relief will be unable to enter the inner city and that armed guards will not be available. But, he just states it without any reason. The U.S. is very, very good at providing force. We are though, awfully slow to reach the point of resolve needed to make it happen. We also have lots of experience providing relief to disaster stricken areas as long as the politicians can put aside their petty differences and make it happen. He then goes on to say that authorities will be unable to block cell phone transmission, but again doesn't give us a reason why. Why? Well because he NEEDS these things to be true in order to make his scenario plausible.

He's probably right about the first few days of the conflict. I can see all this stuff happening for the first few days. The police may well be overwhelmed but, they really only have to fight a delaying action until the National Guard can mobilize. Yes, business will be interrupted for a while. We are big enough to absorb that damage. The inner city youth to which he refers are too few, (that's why they are called a minority), poorly armed, poorly supplied, poorly led (if at all), unorganized, and unaware of the situation outside their own few blocks of pissin' grounds. They cannot win. They cannot break even either. They cannot do significant damage to the nation as a whole, not even a state. Individuals, families and neighborhoods will need to keep their guard up of course. But, you take thugs out of their own neighborhood and they don't even know where they are, either in terms of navigation or culture.

Remember how the author notes that the thugs' rifles are not even zeroed? Their whole lives are not zeroed! If they attempt assault beyond their borders they will simply encounter a rolling cascade of fuckup of their own making. Broken vehicles. Lost members. Drunk and drugged soldiers. It would be like fighting the Iraqi's retarded cousins who are armed with slingshots. Fish in a barrel. The author's sniper ambush is a pretty simple idea and would probably work but isn't likely to even be needed. When they are lost and leaking coolant in a suburban neighborhood, if the suburbanites are as pissed off as the author suggests, (and they may well be) then the shoe is on the other foot.

We used to say "America, Love It Or Leave It". This ain't East Germany. anyone who wants out is free to go someplace better. Bon Voyage kiddies! I suggest we supply expidited passports to any who desire them. Make it so they can order them on Obama phones, see? simple.

Having survived the forced integration (bussing) riots, the post-MLK assassination riots, the 1992 LA riots, and everything in between, I can now say this - I am armed.

In 1992 I was 60 seconds from starting a rescue run to recover my wife from Harm's Way.  She got out,... just in time.


I do not have a neighborhood defense plan, which I regret because I do not have a credible way to bug out.  I do not think my neighbors would be interested.


The roads will be impassable with people and run right through the worst neighborhoods.  

I live on a hill and can see streets as far as a mile to the east.  To the west is the Pacific Ocean.  

They will come from the east.



My plan, such as it is:  I will stand and fight with a possible migration the short distance west to the water.  

The shoreline is a bad position - it is down slope from the bad guys and there's no cover.

I do not own a boat but wish I had one just for this reason (to bug out).




When the mob comes, if I see a Molitov Cocktail, lit or unlit, I will shoot without hesitation.  Fire is my worst enemy.  I am accurate enough out to about 1/2 mile and the rifle is powerful to get the job done at that distance.  



That's all I've got.  What's your plan?

Back when Y2K and the possibilities of social breakdown were large in some peoples' minds there was someone who put forth a description of the threat simply as:

"If you are within five miles of a 7-11, you are toast.  If you are within a single tankful of gasoline's drive of a big city, you could be in for trouble."

Still good advice today.

Plan:
Lock gate at end of driveway.
Get guns out
Arm family members (most have their own anyway)
Shoot people who need shooting
Do not shoot people who do not need shooting
If they keep coming and I am down to my last 3,000 rounds, I will light my own house on fire and bug the fuck out. Because if I am still alive and that low on ammo, fit has officially hit the shan.

I think this is pretty spot on.  Yep, their whole lives are "not zeroed."  These riots are pretty much confined to the shithole hoods where the morons live.  Try to take that fight to the suburbs and the whole thing just doesn't work.  The people who live in these neighborhoods who have the wherewithal to organize anything make something of themselves and get the hell out.  Sure, there might a few criminal masterminds living there but even they can only do so much with the material they have to work with.  And they know that.

But, you take thugs out of their own neighborhood and they don't even know where they are, either in terms of navigation or culture.

Remember how the author notes that the thugs' rifles are not even zeroed? Their whole lives are not zeroed! If they attempt assault beyond their borders they will simply encounter a rolling cascade of fuckup of their own making. Broken vehicles. Lost members. Drunk and drugged soldiers. It would be like fighting the Iraqi's retarded cousins who are armed with slingshots. Fish in a barrel. The author's sniper ambush is a pretty simple idea and would probably work but isn't likely to even be needed. When they are lost and leaking coolant in a suburban neighborhood, if the suburbanites are as pissed off as the author suggests, (and they may well be) then the shoe is on the other foot.

We used to say "America, Love It Or Leave It". This ain't East Germany. anyone who wants out is free to go someplace better. Bon Voyage kiddies! I suggest we supply expidited passports to any who desire them. Make it so they can order them on Obama phones, see? simple.

You have compared these people to the "Iraiqi's retarded cousins".....We've got a lot more "retarded cousins" than Iraq could ever dream of.  

Someday this will happen.  It's inevitable.
